Biography

I am a political economist. Before moving to UCA, I worked in the universities in Sussex, Glasgow, Manchester, York and Coventry. My research interests consist of five closely interrelated and mutually guiding programmes i.e., i) political economy of AI, international business and development, ii) digitalisation, sustainability and local business, iii) microfinance, economic policy, wellbeing, crisis and risk, iv) faith, freedom, de-globalisation and governance, v) NGOs, Hindu religion, culture and capitalism. The regional focus of my research is on the impacts of neoliberalism on social, cultural and economic transition of indigenous and rural communities in global south. I have twenty-two years of research, consultancy and teaching experience in different areas of political economy of international business, development, globalisation, culture, market and crisis in UG and PG courses in different universities at Sussex, Glasgow, Manchester, York and Coventry.
